Experience with Theology

When I hear the word theology, the first thing that comes to mind is the study of God. I also think about how much information there is to learn and take in when studying theology, all the different areas covered and how in depth it can be. I have to admit it can be a little intimidating when you know someone else is more of an expert and you are newer in Christianity. I also find theology very interesting and would love to learn so much more about Christianity and the roots of how it all began. I have already learned a few new things in this week’s readings that I didn’t know before, and am already looking forward to the next seven weeks ahead of us.
Over the next eight weeks what I hope to get out of the course is a better understanding of what theology is. I hope to open my mind and think of things I never knew or thought of before. I want to be able to exercise my brain and grow stronger as a Christian in my walk with God. I also am excited to discuss everything I have been learning week to week with family and discussing and learning with them too. I think that as a Christian not only is it important to continue to learn and grow in our own faith but also to help and guile your own family so they too can enjoy the beauty that comes with living a life for God.
